Hi,
 
Another question is how to name the set of functionalities you are
considering in APONF:
 
- In the first paragraph, they are called "traffic capabilities": " the
communication network to apply the following different network management
and/or traffic capabilities"
 
- Later, they are called "traffic policies": "Examples of such network
management and traffic policies that are considered by APONF are the
following"
 
 
I think that finding a good name grouping these actions is crucial:
 
Manage dynamically network semantics
Orchestrate dynamically virtualized functions 
Permit or Block or Redirect the traffic
Log the traffic 
Copy the traffic 
Set the traffic 
Mark the traffic
 
Are they traffic policies? Network actions? Network functionalities? Network
capabilities? Traffic capabilities? Network management actions?
 
 
What do you think?
